South Al v. Troy on ESPN2

The Jags are up 9-0 with less than 2 minute to go in the 1st half. Sloppy game with lots of turnovers and no offense. Not really the exciting game you want to represent to conference.

Football is a funny game, though. Troy basically dominates the flagship and then is laying an egg against their 1-4 rival. They did the same after breaking into the top 25 last year then getting stomped by stAte a few days later.

South Al has made a habit of this lately, too. In the last few years they've beat SDSU (they beat them when they were top 25 and may have beaten them another time. Not sure) and Moo State when they were significant underdogs. This performance vs. Troy is not that surprising.,

Re: South Al v. Troy on ESPN2

This is the reality of conference games. Same with divisional games in the NFL. Records don't matter as much as familiarity. Combine that with the inevitable letdown after playing out of their minds to spoil LSU - which everyone is grateful for - and I can't say I'm surprised by what happened tonight.

LOL. This is true. They were saying during the game that the Troy kicker's range limit was about 33 yards! I can believe this since he hit the crossbar against LSU from just beyond. That's not a good sign.
